The relevant industry category includes adult and other education services, with an estimated contract value of £3,000,000. Potential providers should be aware that applications will only be evaluated three times a year, aligning with specific school term dates in Gloucestershire. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses aiming to expand in the educational services sector.
